Date Night

This book really has mix of a lot of things. Some really funny moments and situations, including some electrifying banter between Zabe and Sydney. Some of those lines had me snorting out loud, they were so funny. The context of the book is also sweet, as both woman gravitate towards each other. Sydney doesn't really love her boyfriend, and sticks around more for the hope of something than being truly happy. Zabe doesn't appear to have had something really real since she was with Sydney back in college. Her life hasn't exactly gone anywhere either, but she doesn't sit around moping about it. Once they reconnect though, they start drawing each other in. The friendship is something Sydney needs, but it's never easy, due to the constant sexual tension and feelings the two have for each other. Syd needs the wildness of Zabe to help her let go of the control she keeps of her life; Zabe needs the stability Syd can bring. More than anything, when they eventually get intimate their bodies can't deny the truth of what they feel for each other. The passion and steaminess is right up there with the best I've read, but it never becomes crass. Zabe's semi strip tease and lap dance for Syd will leave you panting it's so hot! You simply can't create that kind of steam between people who don't have that kind of deep feelings for each other. It's just a pity there isn't a few more scenes, but it's not the end of the world. It takes the usual couple of tropes for the ladies to realise that…

Eliza Lentzski is a good writer. Sh.e needs a bit better editors as there are many repeated words, misspelled words and mixed grammar errors. Despite those, I enjoyed the storyline. I am familiar with the settings and her characters do hold up well. A marriage for convenience is dependable for some laughs and tears. Well done Eliza!

It’s an okay book and I’m soooo glad Eliza Lentzski kept writing, because her books and other characters have become some of my favorites. Sadly, it’s just this book that is one of my least favorites of her stories. I just never connected with the main character Sydney, as a reader should have, and found her too cold despite being someone everyone in the story seemed to love. Towards the end I was almost glad, Sydney and Zabe, didn’t get together because Sydney was so hot and cold in her actions and feelings, and Zabe was too good for her. But it weirdly all works out and is quite thrilling in the end for the two women, when Sydney finally figures out her life even if it was almost too late.
